Description

Information inquiry method and system

Technical field

The invention relates to information processing technology, in particular to an information query method and system. Background of the invention

With the continuous popularization of network technologies and the continuous development of network services, the Internet has become an indispensable part of people's lives. Users can share various types of information across geographies through the network through the services provided by network service providers. For example, you can share your information on the platform provided by a network service provider, or query information shared by other users. Users can post information such as "The dumplings here are delicious" and "The accommodation here is really good" on the platform.

As more and more users participate in online life, more and more users are willing to publish their own shared information for other users to query and learn from. As a result, the amount of information shared has exploded, and the information query system is able to provide users with more and more information. Although the information inquiry system can provide more sharing information to users, as the number of shared information continues to increase, the number of users continues to increase, and there are many false information in many shared information. When the current information query system receives the query request sent by the user, it only queries the published information in all the published information, and does not judge the authenticity of the shared information, so that the information returned to the user is not available. Some false information is avoided and the user is provided with an error message.

Therefore, how the information query system processes the information and provides a more reliable query result to the querying user is a technical problem to be solved in the prior art. Summary of the invention

The invention provides an information query method and system, so as to realize sharing to users The information is processed and a more reliable query result is provided to the querying user.

The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:

An information query method, the method comprising:

Receive and save sharing information published by users;

Receiving the query request sent by the user, and finding the trusted user corresponding to the user; searching for the sharing information satisfying the query condition in the sharing information published by the trusted user according to the query condition in the query request, and returning the query result to the user requesting the query.

Figure 2 is a basic structural diagram of the system of the present invention;

Figure 3 is an exemplary structural view of the system of the present invention;

4 is a flow chart of a method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Mode for carrying out the invention

In the detailed description of the present specification, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown and described by way of illustration of the preferred embodiments of the invention. It will be appreciated that modifications may be made in various obvious aspects without departing from the invention. The drawings and the description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.

In order to provide a more reliable query result to the querying user, the query operation can be performed only on the shared information published by the trusted user. For details, please refer to FIG. 1, which is an exemplary flowchart of the method of the present invention.

In step 101, the sharing information published by the user is received and saved. Due to the diversity of the communication means, the user referred to in the present invention may be a user who accesses the Internet through the computer terminal, or a user who accesses the network through the mobile terminal.

In step 102, the query request sent by the user is received, and the trusted user corresponding to the user is obtained.

Trusting a user in the present invention refers to querying a type of user that a user can trust. Trusted users can have more than four definitions. For example, users identified based on the SNS friend relationship chain, users belonging to a group, and so on. Since users belong to the same group, the information published by each other is more credible.

In step 103, the sharing information that is obtained by the trusted user is searched for the sharing information that satisfies the query condition in the query request, and the query result is returned to the user requesting the query.

Considering that the trusted user is part of the sharing platform after all, sometimes the shared information that satisfies the query condition may not be found, or the shared information found is too small, so when the sharing information satisfying the query condition is less than the preset number, The sharing information that satisfies the query condition may be searched in the sharing information published by the untrusted user according to the query condition in the query request, and the query result is returned together with the query result of the trusted user to the user requesting the query for reference by the user. In this case, when the query result is returned to the user, the shared letter can be queried. The information is identified, and the shared information is from a trusted user or an untrusted user for reference. The preset number can be set according to the actual system, and can be set to three.

In order to enable the user to more accurately query the required information, the technical solution of the present invention has further processing. That is, when the sharing information posted by the user is saved in the above step 101, the location information corresponding to the sharing information is further acquired and saved (the location information is the location information where the user issues the sharing information); thus, the query returned in step 103 The shared information in the result further carries the location information corresponding to the shared information. Based on the location information, the querying user can further understand the location where the shared information is posted, which helps the user to understand the sharing information more comprehensively. For example, when the querying user queries for a shared message about "eating", that is, "the dumplings here are delicious." When the shared information is displayed, if the location information is also attached, the querying user can more accurately know where the dumplings are delicious.

As an extension of the present invention, the location information corresponding to the shared information may not be obtained and saved when the user saves the shared information, but the location information is dynamically obtained by the system and automatically added to the shared information, thereby improving user publishing sharing. The efficiency of information.

In the technical solution of the present invention, after receiving the query result returned to the user, the terminal where the user is located calls the map on the terminal, and displays the corresponding sharing information on the map according to the location information corresponding to the shared information in the query result. Further, when the user selects a sharing information, the location information of the current location of the user is obtained, and the location information corresponding to the corresponding location of the selected sharing information is given on the map in combination with the location information corresponding to the sharing information.

When the user accesses the network through the mobile terminal, the location information of the mobile terminal can be obtained through the GPS function built in the mobile terminal; when the user accesses the network through the computer terminal, the location information of the user can be determined by the IP address of the computer terminal. The accuracy of the location information varies with the access method. Some location information may be very accurate, such as latitude and longitude information obtained by GPS; however, some location information may be only a range. For the location letter obtained The content is a range of conditions, and the location information may be further determined as a location in the range according to a preset rule.

The query condition may be at least one of a type of shared information, location information, and an identifier of a trusted user. The specific query method can adopt the existing related methods, and will not be described in detail here.

Preferably, when the location information is included in the query condition, the share information satisfying the location information query condition is share information within a predetermined range centered on the location information. For example, when the predetermined range is 100 meters, the sharing information satisfying the location information query condition is the sharing information corresponding to the query location information within 100 meters.

After receiving the returned query result, the user may indicate that the shared information corresponding to the information query system is accurate when determining the sharing information in the query result; when the query result is returned to the user requesting the query, the accurate sharing is further performed in the query result. Information is identified. At the same time, it is also possible to give the user priority to share information with an accurate identification. In this way, the user who performs the query can judge the accuracy of the shared information according to whether the shared information carries an accurate identifier, and is beneficial to the user to obtain the information more accurately, thereby providing the user with a more reliable query result.

In addition to the query information, the shared information carrying the location information can also be used to display, that is, the location information corresponding to the shared information is displayed while displaying the shared information on the sharing platform. At this time, the information may be aggregated according to the type of the shared information, and sorted and stored according to the corresponding location information. There are many types of information to share, and they can be classified according to the purpose of sharing information. At this time, sharing information can be divided into four categories, clothing, food, housing, and travel. When storing and displaying shared information, it can be stored and displayed separately according to the four categories, and when storing and displaying, sorting according to the location information corresponding to each shared information, so as to find and browse. In addition, when displaying the shared information, it is preferable to simultaneously display whether the shared information carries an accurate identification. Correspondingly, the present invention can also set a concern relationship management server. Information about each user's attention is stored in the server, such as a certain location information, or type, or user, or any combination of the three groups. When a user posts the sharing information, the content in the relationship management server can be matched, and if the matching is obtained, the currently released sharing information is pushed to the user, so that the user can view it in time.

All or part of the steps of implementing the foregoing method embodiments may be performed by hardware related to the program instructions. The foregoing program may be stored in a computer readable storage medium, and when executed, the program includes the steps of the foregoing method embodiments; The foregoing storage medium includes:

A variety of media that can store program code, such as ROM, RAM, disk or optical disk.

In addition, the present invention also provides an information inquiry system, which can be specifically seen in FIG. 2.

The system includes a processing server and a query server, and the processing server is configured to receive and save the sharing information published by the user, where the query server is configured to receive a query request sent by the user, and obtain a trusted user corresponding to the user; Querying the query condition in the request and the sharing information saved by the processing server, searching for the sharing information satisfying the query condition in the sharing information published by the trusted user, and returning the query result to the user requesting the query.

The trust relationship between users can be saved in the query server itself, or can be saved in an external third-party trust relationship server. When saved in the trust relationship server, the query server can access the trust relationship server to find the trusted user corresponding to the current user.

Specifically, the query server determines whether the number of the shared information that meets the query condition is less than a preset number, and if not, returns a query result to the user requesting the query, and if yes, the query result is included The query results of the trusted user are returned together to the user requesting the query.

In addition, when the user issues the sharing information, the terminal device where the user is located acquires the current location information of the user, and sends the information to the processing server together with the sharing analysis; The processing server is configured to further save the location information corresponding to the shared information when saving the shared information posted by the user; correspondingly, the query server further uses the location information corresponding to the shared information in the query result when the query result is returned .

After receiving the query result returned to the user, the terminal device where the user is located invokes the map on the terminal device, and displays the corresponding sharing information on the map according to the location information corresponding to the shared information in the query result. In this way, when the user selects a piece of sharing information, the terminal device obtains the location information of the current location of the user, and combines the location information corresponding to the sharing information to give the route of the user to the corresponding location of the selected sharing information on the map. Figure.

The query condition used by the query server to search for shared information is at least one of a type of shared information, location information, and an identifier of a trusted user. The query server, when the query condition includes the location information, finds that the share information satisfying the location information query condition is the share information within a predetermined range centered on the location information.

In addition, after receiving the returned query result, the terminal device determines that the sharing information in the query result is accurate according to the instruction of the user, and indicates that the sharing information corresponding to the information query system is accurate; the processing server responds according to the indication The sharing information is identified; the query server further returns an identifier corresponding to the sharing information in the returned query result.

The system may further include a relationship management server and a friend relationship chain server, as shown in FIG. 3 . Information about each user's attention is stored in the server, such as a certain location information, or type, or user, or any combination of the three groups. When a user posts a share information, the content in the relationship management server and the friend relationship chain server can be matched. If the match is reached, the currently posted share information is pushed to the user for the user to view in time.

The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described in detail below by way of examples. Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a specific process of an embodiment of the present invention.

In step 401, the user posts the sharing information through the terminal where the user is located; The terminal obtains the location information when the user posts the sharing information, and sends the sharing information and the corresponding location information to the processing server.

In step 402, the processing server receives and stores the sharing information sent by the user terminal and the corresponding location information. For example, for user A, it may be saved: User A pays attention to information such as (L, w), (j, k), (l, m, etc.).

When the processing server saves the data, the information can be aggregated according to the type of the shared information, and sorted and stored according to the corresponding location information. There are many types of shared information, and in this embodiment, it is possible to classify according to the purpose of sharing information. At this time, sharing information can be divided into four categories, clothing, food, housing, and travel. At the same time, when the processing server saves the shared information, the processing server can also record the user corresponding to the shared information for use in the query.

When the processing server receives the sharing information posted by the user, the sharing information can be displayed on the sharing platform for other users to view.

In step 403, when the user wants to query the sharing information, the query request is sent to the query server.

In step 404, the query server receives the query request sent by the user, and searches for the share information satisfying the query condition in the share information published by the trusted user according to the query condition in the query request.

In step 405, it is determined whether the number of pieces of sharing information satisfying the query condition is less than a preset number of pieces. If yes, step 406 is performed; otherwise, step 407 is performed.

In step 406, the sharing information that meets the query condition is searched for in the sharing information issued by the untrusted user according to the query condition in the query request, and step 407 is performed.

The query condition in the query request may be the type of the shared information, the location information, the identity of the trusted user, or any combination of the three. The specific query method can adopt the existing query method, and will not be described in detail here.

Preferably, when the location information is included in the query condition, the location information query bar is satisfied. The shared information of the piece is the shared information within the predetermined range centered on the location information, so that the user can be provided with a richer choice. For example, when the predetermined range is 100 meters, the sharing information that satisfies the location information query condition is the sharing information corresponding to the query location information within 100 meters.

In step 407, the query server returns the query result to the user requesting the query. At this point, the process shown in Figure 4 is completed.

It can be seen from the above technical solution that the present invention receives and saves the shared information posted by the user; when receiving the query request sent by the user, firstly finds the trusted user corresponding to the user; and then according to the query condition in the query request, Find the sharing information that satisfies the query condition in the sharing information published by the trusted user, and return the query result to the user who requested the query. The technical solution of the present invention processes the object to be queried during the query process, so that the query user can be provided with a more reliable query result.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalents, improvements, etc., which are made within the spirit and principles of the present invention, should be included in the present invention. Within the scope of protection.
